Multi-boot linux and window on core 2 duo 3.0 ghz with 2 gb ram.
Just today installed Kanotix 2007 rc7. Looks great as I look around. Just checking to see what works.

Tried to play a video from you tube. Got a message that I needed flash. Saw a post about opening a terminal as root and typing apt-get update, apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree.

I tried that but there were errors that I have listed below:

Code:

Any ideas about why update doesn't work? I am running it as root. Should I re-install the distro?

Maybe proxy server problem? Because the ip (1.0.0.0) is of course wrong.

Sorry, proxy server is not clear to me. Probably over my head. I am a little familiar with ip addresses.

Well then you most likely don't use a proxy server, then you can try just a different DNS server in /etc/resolv.conf - add this for testing:

nameserver 130.149.4.20

I am at work and away from my personal computer. It will be later today before I get back there.

It looks like you are saying to add "nameserver 130.149.4.20" to the end of the /etc/resolv.conf file. Is this correct?

Well this is a german nameserver, maybe you find a better one near you. This file is rewritten on every reboot.

I added the above to the end of /etc/resolv.conf and update seemed to work. After that was thru then I did the 'apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree' and I got a message that the latest flash file was already installed.

I haven't had time to yet to see if videos will play or not. Will post back the results when I get the time to try.

I noticed two other entries in the /etc/resolv.conf file. Should I delete those entries?

1st edit
I tried to play a video at you tube and got the same message as before: "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player."
Oh, and this was after I re-booted.
